Homeopathic treatment for Urticaria (Hives)

Urticaria, also known as hives, is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques (wheals) on the skin that appear suddenly; either as a result of the body’s reaction to certain allergens, or for unknown reasons. 

Urticaria, or hives, is a skin condition characterized by raised, itchy welts. It can be acute (lasting under 6 weeks) or chronic (lasting longer). Triggers include allergens, stress, or medications. Treatment typically involves antihistamines, with corticosteroids for severe cases.
